Ubisoft promises a look at what powers a “true next gen game”.

There’s a lot we’re yet to know about some recently announced next-gen titles, not the least of which is Tom Clancy’s The Division, an MMORPG developed by Massive Entertainment. A new teaser trailer has been released by Ubisoft though, and it promises to showcase the technology powering The Division, namely the Snowdrop Engine, on December 9th. Check out the teaser above.

The Division takes place in the future where the Earth has been – you guessed it – ravaged by an apocalyptic epidemic. This seems to have been caused by a virus though, leaving the survivors to fend for themselves and scavenge from their surroundings. This means finding items, scrapping together weapons and even taking cover when a firefight breaks out.

Releasing for Xbox One, PS4 and PC, Tom Clancy’s The Division is expected to be out by late 2014. Stay tuned for the official Snowdrop Engine showcase and other new details in the coming days.
